Texas River Song Chords by Townes Van Zandt

_ _ _ _ This is a real pretty song.
It's called the Texas River Song.
So I'll focus on it. _
_ _ Well we crossed the wide Pecos
[G] And we forded the [D] new Oasis
And we swam to Guadalupe
[A] And we followed the Brazos
[D] Red River runs rusty
[G] And the Wichita [D] clear
_ And down on the Brazos
[A] I corded [D] my dew
_ La [G] la la lee _
_ [D] Lend [A] me your hand _
[D] La la [G] la lee _
[D] Lend me your hand _
La la [G] la lee _
[D] Lend me [A] your hand
Oh the _ Trinity's muddy
And the Brazos [D] quicksand _ _
_ _ Well the Fair _ Angelina
[G] Runs glossy [D] and gliding
And the crooked _ Colorado
[A] Runs weeping and winding
_ [D] The slow San Antonio
[G] Of course is [D] the place
But I never will walk by [A] the Brazos _
[D] again
_ La la [G] la lee
_ _ [D] Lend me [A] your hand
_ [D] La la la [G] lee
_ _ [D] Lend me your hand
_ _ La la [G] la lee
[D] Lend me [A] your hand
Oh the _ Trinity's muddy
And the Brazos _
[D] quicksand _ _ _
Well the girls of Little River
[G] They're plump and [D] they're pretty
The Sabine and the Sulphur
[A] Have plenty of beauties
[D] On the banks of the Natchez
[G] There's girls by [D] the score
But I never will walk by [A] the Brazos [D] no more _
La la [G] la lee _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
